Thor’s
interests include being an Audiophile (LOVE MUSIC), science fiction,
philosophy, sociology, anthropology, transpersonal psychology, anything Norse,
and to do with Deaf culture and Social Justice. (Did I mention I am a
Technology Geek?) He loves folklore, mythology, and words (fairytales is
misnomer, honestly).

Thor is a
longtime fan of Richard Bach.

“If you argue for your limitations,
they are yours” Richard Bach, Illusions. “That to be human, is
to recognize the humanity in all, if you expect them to honor the humanity in
you.” “If belief was wind, the stars, the seas, then all will be
fair, the mysteries would be preserved, and all can know these things are alike
and equal” also recently been
delving into Wendell Berry’s works.

Thor
Identifies as a “Military brat”, and has lived in South Korea, Germany, east
and west coast of USA, as well as Maryland, Arizona and Washington. His stepdad
emphasized cultural relativity long before he found a word for it. He had exposure
to the culture of Norway via dad’s and stepdad’s Scandinavian family, as well
as Welsh from Mom’s side of the family. He gained familiarity of the dieties,
stories, and culture, and eventually the food, from visiting Scandinavian
countries.

Thor is a
published author, his poetry in The Tactile Mind quarterly magazine, Virtigo issue:
Vertigo.

Thor has been
a practicing Wiccan for almost 20 years, with recognized Clergy status in
Maryland, 3rd Degree Elder, High Priest of the Coven of Amber Heart, of the
Coven of Amber Rose family of Covens. He was a visiting member of Ecumenicon,
then migrated to CTCW (honored to return each time). He also does readings in
Runes & Tarot cards, encouraging people to jot down notes during readings.
I go slow. My rule of thumb is if I go too fast, and you don’t remember, then
what was the use?

Paganism in the Deaf World, continue being an artist and writer, and has
